Matrox TripleHead and Windows 11
-
Has anyone else had trouble with Windows 11 and the Matrox TripleHead2Go DP Edition? I have students working on a project and my two Windows students cannot get it to work properly. The Matrox software will only use the Matrox as a clone and show an extended desktop on both monitors plugged in. Does anyone have any ideas?

I'll pull mine out tomorrow again, and let you know if I can see whats going on.

@dusx Thank you! We've got all of the Apple computers working fine, but this issue is showing up on both Windows PCs.

@gastondesign I'm trying to set this up atm too but with newer Mac laptops. How did you get that setup to work? on my m1 Macbook Pro it only recognizes the triple head as a 1600x1200 display, and on the 2019 intel Macbook pro the computer recognizes the triple head as a long screen (6000somthing x 1800 or so) but the projectors dont seem to recognize any input.
best,
Christian

Just in case there's any confusion about how this should work:
- The Matrox should show up as one big display.
- The displays attached to the TripleHead2Go will not show up in your computer's display setup as separate displays.
- The way these devices work is by tricking your computer into thinking it's one big display, then in programs like Isadora you can send specific content to the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd third of that big screen (each third being a different display that's plugged into one of the TripleHead2Go's outputs).
- The Matrox devices prefer that you connect identical displays to their outputs. Using displays that have different refresh rates, aspect ratios, and resolutions may not work.
I'm not saying that that's the problem anyone here is experiencing, but in case anyone who doesn't know this information reads this thread, I thought it might be helpful to state these things.
